Blind Tigers ben.

"A stranger Wednesday night week yisi-
ted the wagon yard on Cherokee street in
this place, and enquired of Mr.. Taylor what
he would charge him for staying in the yard
that night He was informed that it
would take three nickles to enjoy the luxury
of camping there that night. The stranger
went out into the yard and took in the situa-
ton, and then informed Mr.. Taylor that he
would accept and would return shortly and
give him some of the best whisky he ever
tasted Taylor told him if that was the
case, he didn't care how soon he returned.
The stranger then circulated around conf
dentially among the darkies and told them
that he had some whisky down at the wagon
yard for sale He bargained to deliver the
whisky upon the payment then and there
Of one dollar each Tor certain quantity
which he would hand out through the open
ing at the gate upon each one giving the
pass word Tiger The stranger collected
about fifteen dollars in this way. One white
man We Learn entgpgted tyo dollars With
the stranger with the promise OF receiving a
gallon jug full ofcorn whiskey Mr.. Tay-
lor in the meantime had heard nothing furth-
er from the stranger, but several hours later
he was disturbed by repeated attempts Of
4nkAowH parties trying te open the gave.
aud he went ont aud watched, aud one
colored man after another would come up
and utter Tiger through the hole in the
gate, but there was no response. He knew
by that somebody had been duped by the
stranger and soon got the information and
turned the crowd OF victims away Tho
stranger had no whisky to sell, but pocketed
the money and departed to other prohibition
towns where he no doubt will play the same
Tiger racket upon others who are willing
to part With their dollars for calamity we
ter.

In Brief. and TO the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful Di8ordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is foe to good ma
tpte.
The human digestive apparatus is on- OF
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry late hours, irregular
habits, and many other things which ought
not to be, have made the American people
a nation Of dyspeptics
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad bust
ness and making the American people SO
healthy that they can enjoy their meals and
be happy.
Remember:-N 70 happiness without health.
But Green's August Flower brings health
and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your
druggist for bottle seyehty-hye cents.

CATARRH

To those who are afflicted with any of the
different forms of Catarrh, we would say,
there Is no disease which presents greater
diversity of S. ymptOms, none more loaLbsome
insidiousand dangerous than Nasal Gatarl h.
especially IL complicated as 1t lmost ALWAYS
is, even from its 6rst appearance, with an
affection of the throat.
From the earliest symptoms (which are
generally attributed 20 u &c lid in the head''l
to the various ugly and distressing stag es
thu ough which the dihease passes, the pa
tient is hopeful of recovery, and rarely
gives 1t proper atteution un,il cert ain
alarming symptom present themselves,de-
noting nnmists ably the rapid advance of
the malady to the lungs. Indeed. 80 various
are the symptoms that the presence of the
disease is not always known or even sus-
pected, until IT has reached a stage difficult
to arrest. The disease may or may not be at
tended by discharge from the nostrils or
throat, but there Is usually present a NOR.
bid secretion and frequent DISPOSITION
especially in tue morning) to clear the
throat, and the effort to do so is often.
though not always, attended by expectora-
ton; there is q sensation of hesviness in
the fioutal part OF the head, aud the brain
sometimes suffers to an extent producing
headache, vertigo and confusiOn it be-
comes difficult to think clearly. aud to con.
centrato the mind: the memory becomes
impaired and the intellect enfeebled; de-
spondency of spirit and an excitabe condi.
tion Of the nervous system. Such is the eff.
feet OF the disease, and If to this train Of
symptoms (which not infrequently leads to
to insanity or idioey) we add many of the
IT ore loa' hsome physical effects, as cassles,
or rottenness of the homes of the face and
head. a most offensive smell to the breath.
and corrupt. morbid snd poisonous secre.
tions, destruction or the serious injury of
the sense of smell, hearing. sight and taste.
we have a catalogue of horrors v hich would
lead any persop to make early and proper
efforts to eradicate the disease from the
system. Every case of CAtarrh is curable II
properly treated.

Chronic Bronchitis.

Chronic Bronchitis is also an iniamma
ton OF the mucous membrane of the bron
chial tnbes When cold settles on the
lungs the disease either ends in bronchitis
or pneumonia. II 1t ends in bronchitis ii
usually passes Off as a cold ON the chest,
and still the patient does not feel entirely
well. He feels tired and languid, and is in.
capable OF taking his usual amount OF exer.
cise. and experiences u ST oTtDess OF breath
with more or less warmth in the palms OF
his hauds. Soon after this a cough appears,
accompanied by an expectOIatiOn of thick
mucus, followed by u hectic flush, loss OF
tinue, when the patient assumes all the ap.
pesrances OF having genuine case of con.
sumption. But this is simply catarrh Of the
lungs or chronic bronchitis
In the later stage of the disease the mucus
mem biane of the larger brODchisl tube
softens, while in the smaller tubes and air
cells OF the lungs the mucus mem brane be.
comes coDgested and inflsmmed. There
are no cayaties nor tn bercles in the lungs,
but merely wasting away of the larger
bronchial tubes, and death takes place
from obstruction of the bronchial tubes and
air cells of the lungs. The patient dies
from exhaustion and suffocation, being
unable to expectorate the mucus which
lungs, which In some cases Is sticky and
small in quantity, hut more commonly
copious. of a light straw or yellowish green.
Ofteutimes streaks of blood make their sp-
pearance in the mucus, al d ut times there
is disagreeable SMELL Persons thus sf.
hicted are very liable to take u cold vt
which time the mucus becomes clear and
frotny, and 1t Is not uncommonly the case
that the patient dies In one OF these attacks

The Highest Authority.

William Hammond Hall, the State Engin
eer, who has had years of experience in land
and water in California, after full exami-
nation of the Rancho ExMission of San Fer
nando, reports to the owners of the prope ry,
the Porter Land and Water Company, as fol.
lows; "You have 10000 to IL, 200 acres.
and perhaps more, of really first-rate valley
lands for cultivation, with soils not to be sur.
passed for fertility and desirability by those
of any section; lying very favorably for irri-
CATION and in a neighborhood whose climate
is well adapted to the1 best class OF agricul.
tural, horticultural and vineyard productions
usual in this country" Mr.. Hall has been
employed by the company to devise com
plete plan for the irrigation of the tract with
the waters flowing from San Fernando, syca-
more and Pacoima creeks, and from the nm
mense cienegas located upon the ranch, and
the public may expect the finest water sys-

BRONCHITIS.

Acute Bronchitis is an infiamma alton OF
the mucous membrane of the bronchial

the pulmonary diseases. 1t is dangerous
disease, as IL prevents the oxygensiion OF
the blood, and In many cases, particularly
after it passes into the chronic stage, the
substance of the lungs becomes serious.

properly called Bronchial Consumption
In The acute form there is q sense of tight

THE WIFE-MURDERER.
The Preliminary Examination OF
Henry KegeI.

l
The examination Of Henry Kegel
on charge of numbering his wife,
was commenced yesterday afternoon
before Justice Taney, and the testi-
mony brought out was similar to that
given at the Coroner's inquest, except
in that Justice Taney would not allow
some of the most important testi-
mony to be given, ruling that it was
inadmissible under the law. The de-
fense introduced considerable testi-
mony to show that Mrs. Kegel had
not been injured on Saturday, when
she visited the butcher shop at San
Fernando. The defendant was placed
on the stand, and told how he had
gone home with his wife on Saturday
afternoon, about 2 or half-past 2 O'Clock,
and having left her, drove off about
three-quarters of mile for fire-wood.
When he returned about three-quar-
ters of an hour afterward he saw Halls
horse hitched near the house, aud as
he got nearer Hall emerged from the
door, mounted his horse and rode
away, He went inside and found his
wife on the floor. She said Hall had
kicked her. He denied that he had
ever beaten or kicked his wife. 1t will
be remembered that at the inquest the
station agent at San Fernando testified
that Hall was at the depot all that
afternoon waiting for an answer to a
telegram. There is discrepancy be-
tween this statement and that of Ke-
gel, and the truth will probably be
brought out before long.
The examination was continued until
o'clock this morning.

Mayor Workman presiding.
1t was decided that the minutes OF
the previous meeting be so amended
as to read that "the police force be
lectured, and the chief having declined
to do so, that Mayor Workman be ap-
pointed to do the duty on Saturday,
July 10th, 1887" Chief Skinner
voted against the proposition.
Officer Martin was granted ten
days leave of absence, and it was de-
cided to dispense with fruit pest in
spector r. 7. Mullard, for the reason
that his office is an unnecessary ex-
pense.
The meeting then adjourned.
